Edge of Twilight was a promising steampunk action game that never quite got a release date and faded a bit from memory. Reports were that development stalled sometime in 2010.

But not, apparently, from the hearts of its developers, because it's officially back. And in a surprising turn of events, the new publisher claims that it will soon be available to actually play.

For those unfamiliar, this should give you an idea of the tone and the world:

In a press release just filed today, developer Fuzzyeyes states that development was resumed in 2011 and that the first game in the Edge of Twilight universe will be made available "around Christmas." No platforms were mentioned, but Fuzzyeyes states that the trailers "still stand" as examples of the game and that new materials will be available soon.

Apparently this will just be the first: There's a plan for a string of titles based around the Edge of Twilight universe in a variety of genres.

Our Take: It's certainly an ambitious plan on the part of Fuzzyeyes, but we're withholding judgement until we have more details about release dates and platforms.
